    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    This error often occurs after installing a security update. If your operating system cannot recognize your current pin, you will receive an error.

    Please follow the steps in the following links to troubleshoot: How to Fix "Something Happened, And Your PIN Isn't Available" on Windows 11 (makeuseof.com)

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    Best Regards,

    Yanhong Liu
